    The whole “these can be used for high scale crimes” argument is straight up fearmongering. One or two people have reverse engineered the remote protocol on one or two specific models of Volkswagen car, and, after listening to the car being locked and unlocked several times using a laptop and $500 SDR, can reconstruct a signal to unlock the car. When a cybersecurity professional figures out this is possible at all, it makes the news.

    If your car can get broken into by any random script kiddie with a Flipper Zero, sue the car company for gross negligence.

      Exactly. If the car can be broken into that easily, it’s the car company’s fault.
